Hello board.
I have been suffering from heart palpitation/odd sensations in my chest for over a year now, and posted previously about the situation. My heat started fluttering for a few seconds at a time every day becoming worse and worse where my heart would jump around in my chest so harshly it was very scary - until I started taking betablockers which has settled it, but I am still left with the heart flutters and odd "popping" sensations behind my breastbone - which sometimes cause an odd niggling tickly feeling that leads up into my throat. All very odd. I notice my heart seems to flutter and skip often when i lean forward (i.e like sat on the toilet) or when i crouch down to the floor for whatever reason). I had an ECG and an MRI about a year ago, both of which came back normal. My question is - would the heart MRI I had have shown the areas around the heart? I am wondering if there could be an abnormality in perhaps the vessels around the heart, a blockage of somekind etc. causing my heart to skip/jump/flutter and cause odd sometimes painful popping sensations in my chest?
I ask only because my mother died of a blockage in her artery by her heart, and want to be sure something like that isn't lurking in my chest and it hasn't been spotted. I can ofcourse go to the doctors again and ask this, but if someone knows the standard procedure of an MRI of the heart, it would be helpful. Thanks.
